When you arrive, give your patient card to the receptionist and tell them you're here for your postpartum checkup. If there are no irregularities, there won't be an internal exam so there's no need to make an appointment by phone in advance. After this checkup, we'll make an appointment for the one month postpartum check-up, which also includes nutritional ad- vice. (Please make an appointment by phone for your second postpartum checkup.)

Patients who haven't been vaccinated for German measles should plan to be vaccinated at the one month postpartum check-up. This will make you immune in case your child catches the measles and will be useful for your next pregnancy as well. The vaccination won't affect breast feeding or childrearing.

Please make your appointment at the reception.

Please be sure to make an appointment for this checkup at the reception or nurse's station when you leave the clinic after delivery.

On the day your baby leaves the clinic, we will check weight gain, jaundice, and do a CRP test to make sure your baby is ready to go home. With a pass for each item, we can send both mother and baby home with a smile. We will give you a follow-up call 2-3 days after you leave the clinic, so make a list of any questions you would like to ask.

Don't hesitate to call us with any questions you might have about you or your baby's health. If you are concerned about breastfeeding or your breast condition, please come in to the nurse's station.
